Healing the Heart: A Journey to Emotional RestorationSample

Understanding Your Soul

Comforting Verse

Luke 6:27–38 encourages us to love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. Be generous and forgiving. The way you treat others is how you will be treated.

Self-Reflection

What negative emotions do I often feel?

What bad outcomes have happened because of these emotions?

How have these emotions affected my relationships?

Steps Towards Healing and Growth

Let your will guide your decisions, not your emotions.

Feelings can be inconsistent and misleading. By controlling your emotions, you can keep the devil out.

Make decisions based on faith, not negative feelings. As you do this, you’ll notice your emotions becoming more positive.

Affirmation of Faith

Declare this with conviction:

I agree with God’s Word that the most important commandment is to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I’ll love God with all my soul and won’t let the devil corrupt me. I choose to put my will above my emotions. When my emotions are positive, I’ll thank God for the blessing. When my emotions are negative, I won’t let them lead me to sin or make bad decisions. I’ll quickly bring my emotions to God and deal with them obediently. From now on, my will is over my emotions, and I’ll strive to obey God’s Word, no matter how I feel.

Prayer for Healing

Pray this prayer earnestly:

Heavenly Father, I’m sorry for the times I’ve let negative feelings control me. I’ve sometimes put my emotions before You and others, giving the devil an opportunity in my life. I submit my emotions to You and pray for wisdom and power to control them when they’re wrong. I pray for the power to change my bad habits. I also pray for You to restore what the devil has taken from me. As I turn my life and soul to You, I pray for healing, guidance, and blessings. I pray for Your Spirit to give me the strength to do what You desire. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
